Downwind or base is always left, only include 'right' when its a non standard right hand circuit!!

The rule is straightforward. When the standard circuit is right hand you always add 'right'.
Yes, pilots should be aware of this. It's in the manuals, should be in yours too.
2 circuits at the same time...... are you kidding me??

What's the problem with using both circuit directions at a controlled aerodrome? Often has advantages.

It's not a "rule", it's an RTF procedure, as described in the ICAO Manual of Radiotelephony...

"When the traffic circuit is in a right-hand pattern this should be specified. A left-hand pattern need not be specified although it may be advisable to do so if there has been a recent change where the circuit direction is variable".
